Interesting framing from the get-go: > With billions of people experiencing hunger in 2025 and unable to afford a healthy diet, food insecurity remains a critical global challenge. You know where this is headed.

Haha, classic, sounds almost plausible, as anyone using PayPal painfully knows.

> Feels like the early stages of societal collapse. Strongly agree, there is hardly any intelligent discussions with diverging opinions left anymore. People are too deep into their own propaganda, agenda, and echo chambers. Peak bullshit

> Finally, Deckard must question what he is doing, and really what is the essential difference between him and them? And, to take it one step further, who is he if there is no real difference? Honestly, that is still what I get from Ridl

As reliable as telling a pachinko machine: don’t lose my money!

I’ve heard this gatekeeping argument before, but it’s not convincing. Nobody prevents anyone from doing anything with any tool of their choosing; nobody prevents anyone from writing (or doing art or any other business, really). There is no

Of course we know it. It’s been obvious since at least 2023. Everyone in AI oversells, except a few companies that built an actual business with revenue, like Midjourney. There is no AGI coming anytime soon no matter how much hype is being

How is this secretive if venue is public?

Not that surprising since the whole LLM ecosystem is based on plagiarism.

To be fair, raising money takes a certain skill, that few people possess; and in many cases, it’s essential for a startup to even exist.

Of course, there is no way that a wasteful company like IKEA, that basically sells overpriced plastics and cheap aggregates does actually benefit humanity as a nonprofit implied purpose would. The waste it creates is very substantial on man

Same here. I have multiple sites working on Jekyll for almost 10 years as well. I’ve considered moving on to other frameworks such as 11ty and tried local versions for the sake of learning and “upgrading”. But in the end Jekyll still works

The erosion and further diffusion of responsibility is the trend that worries me the most, since it’s already how all mid-size organisations, businesses and institutions alike, operate by design, and LLMs are likely to make that much worse.

Another meaningless, extremely cringeworthy, tweet, hailed as a messianic message by many at the time.

Platforms have always been liabilities. First you trade privacy for convenience, and soon after, you trade ownership for reach, and ultimately you lose both. Have your own website and re-publish on platforms, if you must.

Maybe they should start scanning users' irises.

My bet is that there will be ads for both groups. The paid group is arguably more valuable from an advertiser’s standpoint, and you can target heavy users with more granularity.

> I think this is a weird wording. I dont think you need to limit the ick factor to "Westerners" There are an awful lot of people out there who would feel the "ick" factor. Of course, this has nothing to do with “West

LinkedIn is one the most useless app ever. I have trashed it countless times, but I do use it now and ten to keep up with companies and respond to a few solicitations. There is almost never anything of value in my feed, between the fake job

> Not that their craft would die out, but it would be mutilated This is spot on, exactly how it felt for illustrators/designers. With disruptive technologies, the correct response is to use the tools in unintended ways. And thus re

So they've missed the innovation train due to regulation, and now they are likely to axe the side-effect benefit of said regulation.

> Adobe seems to have gotten the memo though. So far Adobe AI tools are pretty useless, according to many professional illustrators. With Firefly you can use other (non-Adobe) image generators. The output is usually barely usable at this
